Hello,

 I had looked on the code of XFree86 (latest version).

I see that in loadmod.c there is a method LoadModule for loading a module.

Under /XFree86_4.4.0/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader there
is the full implementation of this loader which is not simple
(including many files like loadmod.c ,dlloader.c elfloader.c, aoutloader.c, etc)

My question is , shortly :

why not to use the ordinary loader of glibc ? can't XFree86 X Server use it ?

thanks,
Sting
